I first made this salted caramel mousse many years ago, first just as a mousse, then as a pie. The presentation was gorgeous – drizzled chocolate on a modern crystal serving dish, then layering in the mousse. It was very dramatic!

I’ve modified the recipe since then to make it much easier. We are all busy and you can fit making this awesome dessert into a very small window of time – you know what I mean! The salted caramel & chocolate mousse that results is a showstopper that was an even bigger hit with my family & friends this weekend, and of course they all wanted the recipe. And now you have it too. I think you will really, really love it.

The puff pastry cups are so easy too. Only six ingredients – From start to finish this delicious sweet treat took only 30 minutes, with some chilling time in between.
